On Monday's Daily Delivery podcast, Michael Rand is joined by Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse for a look at the weekend in sports.
Podcast: Patrick Reusse ready to panic about Twins, praise the Wild
On Monday's Daily Delivery podcast, Michael Rand and Patrick Reusse reached the same conclusion: The overall quality of the Twins roster is lacking at several spots, contributing to their 7-13 record. Maybe the Wild's seven-game winning streak will provide a distraction?
If you thought the Twins were going to turn things around back at Target Field, two losses to Pittsburgh didn't give you much confidence. Reusse says its time to panic about a team that just doesn't look like it's very good and has a lot of holes on its roster.
Plus Rand and Reusse praise the team the Wild has built this season and the seven-game winning streak that has Minnesota surging toward the playoffs. And are the Wolves ... actually building something?
At the outset, Rand takes a look at the possibility that both the Wolves and Wild will have rookies of the year this season with Anthony Edwards and Kirill Kaprizov — something one market hasn't had with its NBA and NHL teams in more than 40 seasons.
And an 0-2 start for Minnesota United is a concern — and a disappointment for Loons fans who finally got to see their team in person again during Saturday's home opener.
